Gaming machine thresholds for venues
32 Gaming machine thresholds for venues
The Authority may, for each hotel and each set of club premises, set the maximum number of approved gaming machines that may be authorised under Part 5 to be kept in the hotel or on those premises.
Any such maximum number is the gaming machine threshold for the hotel or club premises concerned.
The gaming machine threshold for a hotel is subject to section 11.
In the case of a new hotel or new club premises, the gaming machine threshold for the hotel or club premises may be set at zero.
The gaming machine threshold for a hotel or the premises of a club may be increased or otherwise varied by the Authority in accordance with this Act.
For the purposes of this Division and any regulations made under this Division, a hotel or club premises cease to be a new hotel or new club premises (as the case requires) once the gaming machine threshold for the hotel or club premises is increased or a gaming machine entitlement held by the hotel or club has been leased (whether or not the lease is still in force).
Note.
If the licence for the venue is subsequently removed under the Liquor Act 2007 to another venue, the other venue would be considered a new hotel or new club premises (as the case requires).
